The real objective is radical change

Many seem to be questioning why President Barack Obama and denizens of Washington, D.C., would sanction the legalization of some 60,000 illegal immigrants crossing into the United States. As that number increases on a daily basis, Washington appears to be powerless to stop the flow. Democrats claim that this is a humanitarian issue and the so-called children must be protected. Republicans counter that if we grant immunity without securing the borders, we are inviting more immigration, giving the impression that if you can just get north of the Rio Grande, you are home free.

The Cloward–Piven strategy was formulated in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine The Nation titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” This refers to a political strategy outlined by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty.”

The two stated that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would strain local budgets, precipitating a crisis at the state and local levels that would be a wake-up call for the federal government, ... and relieving local governments of the financially and politically onerous burdens of public welfare (through a national “solution” to poverty).

So how do you think 60,000 additions to the welfare rolls will impact our economy? Will the addition of these numbers to the Affordable Care Act create more stability or contribute to further chaos in an already failing system?

How about additional demands on Social Security? In 2013, the Social Security System brought in $747 billion in revenues but paid out $823 Billion in benefits. We have used our own Justice Department in gun-running schemes to support the cartels in Mexico. Now those same cartels are engaged in trafficking these immigrants to our southern border.

Barack Obama is not a stupid man. He is actually pretty slick strategist. Increased dependence on federal support is the goal of all these programs. As more people become reliant on the government for everyday needs, that very dependency will help ensure compliance by the proletariat and stronger assurances of those in power maintaining that power. Now this may make me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that Obama and his minions are fully aware of the Cloward–Piven strategy, that they are disciples of that theory, and they are using it as a playbook to radically change the economics in our country. After all, didn’t Obama promise to fundamentally change America?
